Valorization of by-products

This EU focuses on the management of by-products from wastewater treatment systems, organic by-products with high recovery potential from economic activities (e.g., viticulture), or gaseous by-products produced by industrial systems. For sewage sludge, the aim is to integrate its management into the broader issue of the treatment (or production) sector in order to reduce its source at the outset or control its nature. The various recovery methods are then presented. The sizing of sludge treatment processes is discussed. The course outline is as follows:

1. Characterization of water treatment by-products
2. WWTP sludge treatment processes
3. Management and organic utilization of viticulture by-products
4. Biogas recovery
5. Management and treatment of gaseous effluents
